Yijing still remembers the ninth year of Yuanqing in that life, before the snowy season, it seems that the red leaves in the back garden have just been dyed with a touch of rouge, she is in Qingxuelu, alone in a daze, it is the rib that helped Yu Feng over, he stood in the sunset at dusk, his face was snow-white, he hesitated and didn't know how to speak, and his eyes were very deep and desolate.

The assassination of the crown prince that day was by no means the reason why the prince could not speak, because her eldest brother also died in that riot, which was the root of Yu Feng's intolerable outspokenness.

And in this life, the tragedy of the Yingyuan did not happen, the autumn has passed, and the ninth year of Yuanqing is coming to an end.

When Yi Jing still learned the news of the prince's poisonous death from the mouth of the late returning prince, there was a moment of trance, and a subconscious panic in her heart, she immediately thought of Su Xun.

However, her mood was quickly calmed down, because Yu Feng seemed to have insight into his wife's panic, followed by a sentence: "Today I was in the Hanlin Academy, and I was reading the classics with my eldest brother, and suddenly I got an urgent edict from the Holy Lord, and I heard about this sudden incident, which happened last night, and the news arrived in Beijing in the afternoon." ”

"How could this happen?" Yi Jing listened to Yu Feng signaling Su Xun to be safe, and subconsciously put down his heart when he raised his throat, but frowned again.

"Maybe His Royal Highness has already made arrangements, he didn't let go of the prince after all, in order to completely crack down on the abolition of the queen, maybe it is that although the saint has copied the Confucian family and deposed the Yuan, he has not abolished the reserve for a long time, and finally someone can't hold it back to do evil things, the saint has arranged for the three law divisions to go to Rehe, and the prince will probably 'return to Beijing' tomorrow, and the truth of the matter can be known." Yu Feng had already changed out of his official uniform under the service of Yijing when he spoke, but he put on a coat again: "If it is the Third Highness, it must be the poison technique of the Miao family, Mr. Qinggu can always find the clue, if it is his hand, this matter has to be revealed, but if it has nothing to do with the Third Highness, I am afraid that it will be another storm...... However, no matter what the truth is, when the death of the crown prince will trigger a discussion on the choice of the prince, and the seemingly calm court situation will have an uproar, brother-in-law, he didn't want to be involved in the seizure of the prince, but I am afraid that he will not be allowed to stay out of the matter this time. ”

Even if the Patriotic Mansion does not do anything, the power of the nobles behind him will no longer be pressed, the storage position is vacant, and the Fu King is long and has always been generous and filial piety, and there will be nobles who will propose to appoint him as the new prince, in order to seek the merit of the future auxiliary monarch and strive for wealth and eminence.

"You just need to know about this, and you don't need to worry too much, what Uncle Yue means is to stay out of the matter, only at the will of the king, and the Chu Wangfu will not involve the prince." Yu Feng comforted his wife and kissed her forehead: "I still have to discuss with the staff, dinner is in the vestibule, I can't accompany you, the weather is cold, you don't have to wait for me, rest early." ”

As soon as the prince, the Weiguo Mansion has undoubtedly become the attention of the public, and the slightest carelessness will involve it, which will lead to the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, but the Fu King himself does not have that will, and the Weiguo Mansion can only adopt an evasive attitude, in order to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven, indicating that there is no greed, Yu Feng feels that since the third prince left the country, the Son of Heaven does not seem to have the intention of discussing the choice of the prince with the close ministers.

As for the real culprit who poisoned the crown prince, Yu Feng believes that nine times out of ten it is planned by the three princes who act unreasonably and unreasonably, because the crown prince's throne is already in jeopardy, and the rest of the princes must all be aware of it, and at this juncture, it is very rare to do such an extra move.

However, it cannot be ruled out that the reckless nature is like the absurd things that the sixth and seventh princes do because they can't hold back, or the city government is deep, such as the fourth and fifth two who take risks in order to blame the talents.

Despite this, when two days later, when the Son of Heaven saw the cabinet, Yu Feng was still taken aback when he heard Mr. Qinggu's conclusion that the crown prince was an ordinary poison in his body, not the poison of the Miao family, could it really have nothing to do with the three princes, and there was something else strange about this matter?

Jiang Qinggu's judgment also made the Son of Heaven puzzled, he heard that the prince was poisoned, and immediately thought that San Lang was not reconciled, and heard that a palace maid disappeared inexplicably on the day of the incident, but the prince was poisoned a few hours after her disappearance, the prince went out to eat, and the palace people around him had to test the poison first, and there was no palace poison, which proved that the wine and food prepared by the wine shop itself were not poisonous, and the prince had a lot of eunuchs waiting for the guards when he was eating, and it was impossible for the palace maid to be poisoned in front of everyone's eyes, if it was really her hand, It should have poisoned the prince in the court in advance, and it must not be an ordinary poison, so the Son of Heaven asked Jiang Qinggu to determine whether it was related to the Miao family.

However, he got a negative result, if the prince is an ordinary poison in his body, he will be poisoned after a moment or three at the latest, that is, after returning to the official post, he will be poisoned in the tea by someone with other intentions.

The other imperial doctors originally knew very little about the Miao family's poison technique, and after testing, they also thought that the prince was hit by ordinary arsenic.

Then the real culprit is not the missing palace maid, but someone else.

In spite of this, of course, Danli still had to be thoroughly investigated, and soon learned that she was Zhen's confidant, when Concubine Zhuo was killed in a miscarriage, she happened to suffer from a disease and was sent to Qingping Nunnery to recuperate.

Danli's parents and family will naturally be held accountable.

But at a glance, Danli's family was nowhere to be found!

This result seems to prove that Danli was indeed related to the death of the crown prince.

has to make everyone suspect that someone designed to poison the prince, in order to protect himself, he blamed Danli, Danli did not escape, but was killed and dumped, as for her family, maybe she was cut down and eradicated.

For a while, several princes were suspicious, and even the Son of Heaven suspected that the princes couldn't hold it back and killed their siblings in order to seize the prince.

Yu Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, the prince was destined to die so confusingly.

The palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied the prince to Rehe in the East Palace were imprisoned and tortured to extract confessions.

They were originally innocent, but of course they couldn't provide any behind-the-scenes masterminds, and many of them were beaten to death.

Of course, the matter of the prince's poisoning was difficult to keep secret, and it quickly spread all over Jinyang Jing, causing a panic in the hearts of the people.

His Royal Highness the Maharaja was amazed when he heard this-Jiang Qinggu didn't even find out that the crown prince was the special poison of the Miao family in his body? Suddenly, he remembered the heavenly secret that the four princes had leaked through Huang Tao, and sneered.

He finally knew the secret chess of the fourth, he didn't expect it to be such a key person, the fourth really has some means, it seems that without his opponent, the fourth has a success, Su and Chu will have to plan carefully in the future, I don't know what Yu Feng will do, he will not be a foolish and loyal person, and he really follows the creed of "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die".

In the outer study room of Prince Qing's mansion, at this time, the Chen and Qin families and King Qing's staff were brainstorming and discussing how to clear the suspicion and the next steps.

King Qing was sitting precariously, his face solemn, as if he was listening carefully, but his mind was no longer in this study.

At this time, he was thinking about Yu Haoxi, who was far away in Xiliang, the opponent he once regarded as a mortal enemy, what kind of strange brain did he have to act so willfully.

In the end, it was the prince who died unexpectedly, but indirectly helped him.

If the real culprit who poisoned the prince fell on the third child, of course it would be harmless to him, but it would not help, but it would be confusing, so that he could use it to eradicate the competitors in the storage position.

King Qing saw that a cronie was foaming at the mouth, and firmly believed that the real culprit who poisoned the prince was King Fu, and proposed that Qin Xiang initiate impeachment through the mouth of the official, maybe he could take this opportunity to eradicate the Weiguo Mansion together, King Qing raised the corners of his lips invisibly.

But his expression still fell on the side, Chen Changshi's eyes on the side, and he couldn't help but shudder fiercely.

Could it be that the death of the crown prince was planned by the prince, and the purpose was to blame the king?

Chen Changshi privately thought that the master was very ruthless, but seeing that the Qin family didn't know what to do, and his own family was even more hidden, he became more and more frightened by the prince's suspicion.

The Chen family has always sought stability, and because of the cover-up of Hu Shizhong, they have already broken a second master, and they are worried that they will be jealous by the Son of Heaven and follow in the footsteps of the Kong family, so they sternly oppose the proposal of the staff, thinking that it is too obvious to target King Fu and the Weiguo Mansion at this time, and maybe it will make King Qing suspicious.

Although Qin Huaiyu also thinks that this is a rare opportunity, he is unwilling to come forward from his own family, the Son of Heaven can not know that most of the official imperial history is in the hands of the Qin family, if it is really according to what this staff member said, there is no evidence to accuse the prince and the son of heaven of poisoning the prince, the Qin family is undoubtedly inseparable from the Weiguo Mansion, you live or die.

Qin Huaiyu asked himself that he had no chance of winning at this time, and of course he refused to be hostile to the Weiguo Mansion.

Seeing that his plan was not adopted, the staff was very distressed, and secretly slandered the Qin and Chen families for only seeking self-protection at such a critical juncture, and in vain King Fei Qing regarded them as his right-hand men, so looking forward and backward, how could it become a big deal?

"As soon as the prince dies, King Fu is the elder, and there is the support of Su and Chu, if we lose the opportunity again, we will definitely lose, and I hope that the prince will make up his mind to make a decision as soon as possible." The staff clasped their fists and admonished King Qing.

King Qing didn't listen to the advice, comforted the staff with two words, commended his loyalty, waved his hand to dismiss the meeting, and asked Chen Changshi to send everyone away, but left Qin Huaiyu alone to talk.

When the study was quiet again, the door was opened, but it was a boudoir woman who laughed, it was Qin Ziruo.
